87 TRX 350 Carb Question

Hi Guys,

Bought this quad a few months ago and it really never ran "right". Overhauled the carb and it is running A LOT better. The last guy really messed around with screw settings and that’s why i got a good deal.
One screw that i can’t figure out what it does is this one in the picture on the bottom of the carb bowl? It’s adjustable but doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m thinking it’s the drain screw or does it do something else?

shifter issues

Happy Weekend All,

I just got my kid a 1986 TRX125 four wheeler. Everything is good except the shifter. When you go to shift the wheeler up in gears the throw is so long that you have to lift your whole leg up to get it to shift. I did adjust the clutch free play… properly. please and thank you.

Hello

Hi guys, nice site here, I’m new to the Can-am, just switched over from a Suzuki 400 to an 850 outlander XT, big changes, but I figure if I’m going to change might as well go all out. Like I said I’m new to the can-am always wanted one, probably going to bug the community a lot with questions.

Transmission problem

I have a 2008 can am renegade. I took out the engine and transmission to rebuild the motor. Reinstalled the motor and transmission and now the transmission will go into P R N it will not go into H or L. Also when it’s in neutral it is still locked up and the bike will not move. I do not have either clutch on and can not turn it on (waiting for new ecu). Wondering if it needs power or anything. I do not want to prematurely take it all apart again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ignition vs emergency shutoff?

This is the second can am ATV I have owned and both suggest in the manual to shut the ATV down using the emergency shutoff switch instead of the ignition key. Nobody I know does it this way and when I asked the dealer about it last week when I purchased my new outlander 850, he said he had never heard of that. He has always used the key and left the shutoff switch on. Can anyone explain why can am suggests to use the shutoff switch vs the ignition to turn off the ATV.

Renegade 800 fuel injectors?

I’m no mechanic and was hoping some one could give me a little reassurance. I believe I put some bad gas in and gummed up one of my injectors. It started running like it was on one cylinder and the idle dropped to about 800rpm from the normal 1250-1300. While riding it at time at full throttle it would open up like a power band and run normal but drop back out pretty quick.

I found that one of the spark plugs was fouling out and smelt bad of gas. The second one was fine. I pulled the injectors, Cleaned the plug and swapped the injectors fired it back up and the assumed bad injector fouled the opposite spark plug and smelled bad of gas.

I soaked both injectors over night in carb cleaner. Put it all back together. The idle is back up to the normal 1250-1300. And it does seem to run a little better but still not fully opening up.

Bad injector? And thoughts.
